My last batch was made with Bulleit Rye. While I can tell you unequivocally that the Bulleit made for an outstanding aged Manhattan, the Riverboat Rye had still made for a very good aged Manhattan at a fraction of the price when used with a good vermouth like Dolin. It's spicier and unfiltered which on its own merits was nice and then mellowed by the oak, albeit with less complexity.David Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627513680064017871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462121554175947733.post-43819314432333562752014-12-03T11:56:02.272-08:002014-12-03T11:56:02.272-08:00I actually enjoyed Riverboat better than the other...I actually enjoyed Riverboat better than the others. Not on the rocks or in a cocktail either, but straight out of the bottle in a brown paper bag. I tried it all of the other ways, but it wasn't as fun as slightly cold and neat. On the rocks diluted it considerably and lost that rough and tumble character. I imagine that the High Rye would make a nice Manhattan. Temptation was weak after that, and Redemption Rye is meek compared to having unfiltered Riverboat. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
